62233 - The red orders

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

When you find out about the mass rapes committed by the Red Army in its path, you wonder what this “liberation” was all about. It functioned as a revenge tool of the Soviet Union with the reinforcement of the secret police. But you ought to however move even deeper in order to observe the systemic hatred caused by this barbarism. The reading of the slogans of that period is indicative: soldiers of the red army, kill! kill! There are no innocent amongst them! Neither those who live nor those who have not yet been born! To death! To death! Germans are not human beings. Let’s say nothing! Do not be ashamed! We ought to kill! If you do not kill a German a day, then your day is a lost one… If you do not kill a German, then it’s him who will kill you… If you can not kill a German with a bullet, kill him with a bayonet… If you’ve killed a German, then kill another. At this point of time, there is no greater relief than seeing the corpses of Germans. The Red Army soldiers constantly listening to such orders, were ready for anything and did everything.
